What is the effect of n-hexane on soft rubber hoses?

A few days ago, during an experiment, the rubber hose cracked; it was containing a hexane solution. I would like to ask those at Haichuan: what effect does hexane solution have on transparent flexible rubber hoses?

Alkanes swelled the rubber. Their solubility parameters are relatively close. A solvent-resistant type is obtained using a n-hexane solution.

Reply to 2# sleepspring ]Thank you; it’s probably this reason that caused the rubber tube to crack

Plasticizers and other components will continue to leach out, causing the tube to crack and harden
